Youth Group update for September

It has been a very satisfying month for the volunteer staff and members of the Youth Club because, as I mentioned last month, the club had been nominated and short listed for the Cambridge and Peterborough Community Life Award in the Children and Young People section.

Little Downham Youth Club Report 2007 – 2008

This has been a very productive year for the Youth Club and its ever-increasing membership. Sessions are held every Monday evening at The Pavilion from 7– 9pm and are open to all young people in the village from the time that they leave education at Downham Feoffees School or equivalent education. Normally about 25 young people attend. A team of volunteer youth leaders who, between them, have a huge range of skills and experience supervises the young people. The team have worked hard to create an environment where young people can safely ‘hang out’, but also a situation where they can talk about their aspirations to people who really do take an interest in their abilities.

New facilities for young people

A new group for year 6 youngsters has been started at the youth group centre. This runs from 6:00 to 7:45pm, giving the younger group a chance to socialise with the older group that runs from 7:00 to 9:00pm..

Youth Drop-in Centre

We now have a youth drop in centre based in the recreation ground pavilion open on Monday evenings 7:00pm - 9:00 pm. Staffed by trained volunteers there are facilities such as Xboxes, TVs and videos, music and pool or just sit and chat. There is new furniture for inside and out so that you can relax and have fun for a couple of hours.
